EXECUTIVE OPERATIONS ASSOCIATE TO THE PRESIDENT

Legarza Sports and More
San Carlos, CA

Full-Time | Operations, Strategy & Organizational Support


Help Power an Organization That Impacts 100,000+ Kids Every Year

Since 1989, Legarza Sports has grown from a single youth basketball program into one of the Bay Area’s leading youth development organizations.


What began as a passion for teaching basketball has expanded into a wide range of programs that now serve more than 100,000 young people each year and have impacted well over 1 million children throughout our history.


Today, Legarza programs include:

  • Youth camps and leagues
  • PE and after-school programs
  • Club sports teams
  • ELOP programs
  • Sports and enrichment offerings including basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball, STEAM, all-sports, cooking, and arts & crafts


Behind every successful program is a strong operational backbone.


We’re looking for an Executive Operations Associate to the President who can help bring clarity, organization, and operational support to a fast-growing and mission-driven company.


This role is about more than supporting a leader—it’s about helping ensure the systems behind our programs run smoothly so we can continue delivering life-changing experiences for kids and families.


About the Role

This role provides direct support to the President while helping strengthen the operational foundation of the company.


You’ll help organize priorities, manage information, and bring structure to the many moving parts that come with running a growing organization.


But this isn’t a traditional desk-only assistant role.


The ideal candidate is someone who loves a well-structured calendar and spreadsheet, but also doesn’t hesitate to roll up their sleeves—whether that means helping organize equipment in the warehouse, coordinating logistics for programs, or improving systems that make our team more effective.


This position is being created not just to provide support today, but to develop a future leader within Legarza. The right person will gain exposure to leadership decisions, operations, and organizational strategy while building the skills needed to grow into larger leadership roles over time.


What You’ll Do

Executive Support

  • Manage and optimize the President’s calendar, priorities, and communications
  • Prepare materials, notes, and follow-ups for meetings
  • Coordinate internal and external scheduling
  • Track projects, commitments, and key deadlines

Operational & Organizational Support

  • Help bring structure and organization to fast-moving initiatives
  • Assist with project coordination and cross-team communication
  • Help maintain clear systems for documents, reporting, and data
  • Support operational planning across programs

Logistics & Supply Chain

  • Assist with equipment and program supply management
  • Support warehouse organization and inventory tracking
  • Help coordinate ordering and preparation of materials for programs

Problem Solving & Execution

  • Identify opportunities to improve systems and efficiency
  • Help ensure priorities stay organized and moving forward
  • Jump in wherever needed to support team success


This role is ideal for someone who enjoys making things run better.


Who We’re Looking For

You’re someone who:

  • Is highly organized and detail-oriented
  • Loves managing calendars, spreadsheets, and systems
  • Is proactive and able to anticipate needs before they arise
  • Communicates clearly and professionally
  • Thrives in a fast-moving environment with many priorities
  • Is comfortable balancing office work and hands-on operational support
  • Finds motivation in helping create meaningful experiences for kids


You take pride in being the person who keeps things organized, moving, and improving.

Growth Opportunity


This role is intentionally designed as a leadership development opportunity.


The right candidate will gain exposure to:

  • Organizational strategy
  • Program operations
  • Leadership decision-making
  • Cross-functional coordination


Over time, strong performers may grow into larger operational or leadership roles within the organization.


Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k)
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Opportunities for professional growth and advancement
  • Exposure to leadership, operations, and strategic planning

  • 100,000+ children served annually
